In yellow

I have come to appreciate the simplicity of a gluebook.
Now that I've been working in one for a while,
I have assembled a small tray of clippings that I can
work from while watching TV in the evenings.

A gluebook fills the creative urge without having to
have a lot of supplies: just a gluestick, scissors,
clippings and a book.

I like having different media for different moods, situations and needs.

The Beauty of Age

 This layout just fell into place and was so much fun to do.

The background is from an old Harlequin romance paperback.

The color was perfect!  I did nothing to it.

You can't create aged paper like that.

It just takes time.

That is the same truth that applies to the natural 

beauty of age--be it paper, heirlooms or people.

Age is a wonderful thing.

A true blessing.

Embrace it.

Here comes the color!

Inspiration can come from anywhere--anything.

These neon labels had found their way to my art table.

Why not?

After rummaging around in the paint box

and gathering some random words:

Feels good to be in the paint and glue again.

And of course, a bit o' pink!

Family

By choice, my blog does not contain a lot of personal information.  Yet I feel it would be somewhat remiss to jump back into blogging-as-usual without acknowledging the reason for my absence. After a long illness, my mother-in-law went home to be with the Lord last week.  Her care has been at the forefront of our attention and energies.
 All is well.  God is good.
